Extend Your Laptop’s Life with a Ram Upgrade

If you have a laptop that is getting slower and slower, you should consider upgrading the RAM before you think about discarding it and getting a new one. RAM is used by the software and programs on your laptop to store data during its working processes, so if it doesn’t have enough of it, then your laptop can seem slow and sluggish in everything it does. Check the specifications of your laptop to see how much memory your machine will accept, upgrade it and you could be enjoying a quicker and more efficient computer in no time!

The History of Intel

The ubiquitous brand that is Intel or Intel Corporation, is an American institution in the world of computing technology. With its headquarters in Silicon Valley, California, it is currently the 2nd biggest producer of semiconductor hardware in the world, second only to Samsung.

If you’ve owned a computer, ever, you’ll likely have been the owner of Intel hardware of some kind. The company invented x86 microprocessor, which are found in pretty much every computer in existence. Even Apple computers use Intel hardware inside their machines.

Their wide range of products includes embedded processors, flash memory, computing hardware, graphics chips and integrated circuits. If you think of any part of a PC, laptop or server, there’ll be something made by them close by.

Where it StartedIntel started off back in 1968, when Fairchild Semiconductor employees Gordon Moore and Robert Noyce got together. The former a famed chemist, and the latter a physicist, they put their considerable minds together and came up with the integrated circuit. They were joined by Arthur Rock, who found investors for their business venture and Max Palevsky and just like that, the Intel Corporation was born.

Name ChangeMoore (who interestingly gave the world ‘Moore’s Law, relating to the continual doubling of transistor numbers on IC year on year) and Noyce had an amusing reason why they rejected their first idea for a company name. They were simply going to call the enterprise ‘Moore’s-Noyce’, that was until they noticed it sounded a bit like ‘More Noise’, which in computing, is usually a bad thing. The settled instead for Intel.

Established DominanceDuring the 1980s, Intel was already a big player in the market, with around 10% of the worldwide microprocessor market, but wasn’t yet the dominant force it is today. That wasn’t fully realised until around 1992, when it achieved the biggest market share of any company. A status they still enjoy today. Intel also became the largest producer of semiconductors at around the same time.

In the years since the giant has acquired a number of companies along the way. Most notably McAfee, Infineon Technologies, ASML Holding and Omek Interactive.

The influence that Intel has had in the world of computing should not be underestimated, as, without the collective minds of Moore and Noyce, the world might look very different today. Right now, Intel holds anywhere between 65-80% of the market and it is not likely to change anytime soon. The company’s closest competitor is AMD, who typically have much more modest, 30% market share.

"Site worked fast and was easy to use, nice MFS and could find everything I need. Ordering was a breeze. Delivery could be a bit better, Royal Mail around our area is not really reliable, so I'd rather have it over a courier. A courier could be potentially faster as well."
